Sakashima of a Thousand Faces

Legendary Creature — Human Rogue

You may have Sakashima of a Thousand Faces enter the battlefield as a copy of another creature you control, except it has Sakashima of a Thousand Faces' other abilities.

The "legend rule" doesn't apply to permanents you control.

Partner (You can have two commanders if both have partner.)

Hey, interesting version with Dark Suspicions like effects.

Consider cutting some of the lesser sea monsters for more ramp and some more setup for Runo?

• Arcane Signet --> Isleback Spawn
• Heartless Summoning --> Inkwell Leviathan
• Talisman of Dominance --> Grozoth
• Everflowing Chalice --> Elder Deep-Fiend
• Brainstorm --> Lorthos, the Tidemaker
• Frantic Search --> Tromokratis
• Windfall --> Charix, the Raging Isle

Isleback Spawn and Inkwell Leviathan have shroud which prevents them from being targeted by Krothuss to be copied. Lorthos, the Tidemaker, Tromokratis, Charix, the Raging Isle are legendary and copies of them don't give you any value when they're created thus you don't really want to copy them. Even with Sakashima of a Thousand Faces you have better legendary sea monsters here and Krothuss is really the target to be copying when you control Sakashima.

Since not playing any 1/1 creatures then Heartless Summoning is good ramp for sea monsters. Having lots of high CMC sea monsters stuck in your hand/unable to be cast can be a problem. Brainstorm, Frantic Search and Windfall can help when this happens and to setup Runo. Scroll Rack is more expensive price, but has a really helpful repeatable effect.

Another reason other than ramp to add more two drop mana rocks as well as Everflowing Chalice is to have more chances to combo with Hullbreaker Horror + Sol Ring. Mana Crypt, Mana Vault, Mox Amber (when you control Krothuss or Runo) are more expensive price mana rocks that combo with Hullbreaker.

Good luck with your deck.

Thank you, glad to have inspired you with some izzet madness

Copy Artifact can be used in many interesting ways but the easiest and usually most effective is to copy your Mana Crypt (or an opponent's one) to get more mana and more coin flip triggers. Because of its flexibility, for only is always a good card to play.

If you have Sakashima of a Thousand Faces in play you can also ignore the "legend rule", copy Krark's Thumb and do a lot of crazy things.

Looks like a solid deck to me. You might like these: Ghostly Flicker, Illusionist's Stratagem, Conjurer's Closet, Sakashima the Impostor, Sakashima of a Thousand Faces, Spark Double, Helm of the Host, Not of This World, Falthis, Shadowcat Familiar, Plague Mare, Overcharged Amalgam, Slum Reaper, Mind Flayer

Also HuskyMatusky the Lightning Greaves are for Sakashima of a Thousand Faces because I don't care about copying him which is a copy of Vial Smasher the Fierce(along with his other abilities) only to protect the no legend rule ability, while Swiftfoot Boots is for Vial Smasher the Fierce since it is only hexproof which I can still target, just not opponents.

Thank you for the comment HuskyMatusky but I have Vial Smasher the Fierce partnered with Sakashima of a Thousand Faces for that reason, he allows the legend rule to be null and void as along he's out.

Love it. I'm trying to make a similar deck with Krark, the Thumbless and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces. Definitely going to take some inspiration from this. You're running some sweet cards I've never seen before.

Like the list, I’m also building Toxrill. A few things I would consider adding. Syr Konrad, the Grim seems good here if you want to go heavy on the aristocrat style. Sakashima of a Thousand Faces and Sakashima the Impostor both give you another effect that will let you copy Toxrill.

Id recommend squeezing in a Sakashima of a Thousand Faces so you can copy Marit lage, replay the enchantment and get ANOTHER MARIT LAGE
